It was a pleasure to lead a breakout session on behalf of Aledade, Inc. at the 2024 eClinicalWorks (eCW) National Conference in Grapevine, TX. We discussed how population health technology can drive value-based care to new heights. We explored: - Holistic Population Data: Going beyond aggregation to give healthcare teams a full picture of patient needs. - The importance of Actionable Insights: Transforming data into real-time, practical steps that empower care teams to address gaps in care every day. - Health Equity & Financial Impact: Harnessing data to identify and address disparities while optimizing outcomes for patients and providers alike. A particular highlight of our discussion was the data surrounding how effective blood pressure management is in preventing mortality compared to other interventions. Data shows that such a simple intervention like BP control is the MOST effective in saving lives downstream (See slide in picture). These insights are invaluable as we push for outcomes-driven, patient-centered, equitable care in every setting. Thank you to eClinicalWorks, Aledade, and everyone who joined the session for the opportunity to share and learn!

Years ago, CMS forced health systems and ambulatory providers to ONC-Certified EHR technology through Meaningful Use (but also paid for it). Post-Acute and Behavioral Health Providers were not included in this. Today, through payment models being released into the industries (such as GUIDE), CMS is forcing the adoption of Certified EHR technology by requiring it for these models. This is so that organizations can share information and collaborate on patient care in payment models that reward them for doing so. This trend continues for home health with Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), which provides a new model of care for home health organizations to participate in for 5 of the most expensive surgical procedures that require post-acute care (launches in 2026). From a technology standpoint, an EHR's Certification is only the first step. There are clinical scales, tools, and content to be licensed plus built. Changes to billing functionality. Reporting on measures to create workflows and analytics around the capture on numerators and denominators. Make sure any vendor partners you work with has actually prepared for these things, on top of certification, in the models of care you're pursuing. GUIDE has a profound impact for hospice/palliative care providers by allowing them to be properly reimbursed for taking care of some of nation's most elderly and vulnerable populations. Proud that Netsmart has taken multiple providers on this list LIVE in the last two weeks on the model, operationalizing GUIDE through all of the above in a way that takes care of one of our most vulnerable populations.

💸 Healthcare Costs: A Staggering Comparison 🌍 Over the past few years, the amount Americans are spending out-of-pocket on healthcare has ballooned to unfathomable levels: 📈 2021: $433 billion 📈 2022: $462 billion 📈 2023: $490 billion (estimated) And that’s on top of the insurance premiums Americans are already paying! To put this in perspective, the $490 billion spent in 2023 alone is comparable to the entire GDP of several well-known countries: Norway: $486 billion Ireland: $533 billion Singapore: $374 billion Finland: $300 billion New Zealand: $243 billion It’s mind-blowing when you think about it, what Americans are paying out-of-pocket for healthcare is nearly equal to what some countries generate in total economic output. This can’t be sustainable. At Mezocare, we’re committed to finding a better way. Our mission is to provide high-quality, affordable healthcare solutions that reduce the financial burden and make healthcare a priority, not a financial stress. #HealthcareCosts #GlobalPerspective #AffordableHealthcare #HealthEquity #HealthcareInnovation #Mezocare

Cerner's infrastructure hinders improvement efforts which has led some healthcare organizations to move to different EMRs. Oracle had a strategic decision to make here, and they chose to build an entirely new EMR rather than retool Cerner with AI components. These types of technological advances promise clinicians a bright healthcare future where taking care of patients, not data entry, is the essential job task. It is an exciting time to be in healthcare! #EMR #healthcare #innovation https://lnkd.in/eb4kcdAA

Exciting! ChristianaCare is transitioning to Epic, and as health systems embrace advanced tools, whether executives choose to move from Cerner Corporation to Epic or vice versa, I urge them to prioritize data and AI usability. A Deloitte survey emphasizes that healthcare leaders must focus on data, governance, patients (customers), and care staff to successfully implement generative AI. Data considerations, including availability, reliability, and quality, are critical, with quality being the most challenging to validate. My suggestion is to involve AI partners in these conversations to ensure EHR systems meet market and patient demands. Don't fall behind; your competitors are already doing it, and your patients expect it! Let's make it happen!"
